Calvin started daycare at Mountain Area two weeks ago and Briggs ended his stint there, in preparation for beginning kindergarten this week. There was a week in there before school began when Eli and Briggs were at home and Calvin was away. I didn't get as much done as I had thought.
On Thursday, though, two friends from church took Eli and another boy from church to Biltmore for the day. Briggs was a little upset that the trip was just for older boys. So to make it up to him, he and I went to the WNC Nature Center in Asheville. We had a great time. We saw a couple of wolves snarl and growl at each other over a scent in the woods. Briggs got to pet a goat and some sheep. We walked through the butterfly house. Briggs didn't want to pet a snake, but he did get an up-close look at an owl. We saw the bears and some deer and turtles. All in all a good trip, and
not at all a bad substitute for Biltmore.
The next day the three of us went to Linville Caverns. It was nice and cool for me; I was weary of toiling on the window project. They gave a nice tour, though some of the commentary was over-the-top goofy. The caverns are pretty nice, though not nearly as capacious as Luray in VA. It's been several years since Eli was in Luray, and he doesn't remember the caverns. They both got a big kick out of Linville, so we agreed to make a journey some day to VA to see Luray.
